[1] William Buell granted the land for construction of the Brockville Courthouse atop a hill rising from the Saint Lawrence River.

The figure of Themis, a blindfolded woman holding the scales of justice, was made by master carver William Holmes in 1844.

This statue was named "Sally Grant" by Paul Glasford, the chair of the building committee, in honour of the woman who posed as the model.

A replica carved by Robert Kerr of Smiths Falls was placed atop the courthouse in 1982.

Major highways: The town of Smiths Falls is mostly located in Lanark County, while parts of the southern areas of the town are in the township of Rideau Lakes in the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville.
